Description
Spitzberg Range, Goschenen Valley, Uri, Switzerland
This specimen is an unusually formed and especially pointed quartz from the famous quartz locality of Goschenen Valley in Uri, Switzerland. The crystal has a rare tessin habit where the prism continuously tapers toward the termination, by alternating steep rhombohedral and “m” prism faces upward until it reaches a perfect point. Chlorite has formed outside of the crystal as well as inclusions internally, giving the clear quartz a green color. Included quartz from this area is commonly polished. This specimen is natural, unpolished, and without damage. There is a surprising degree of internal clarity to this specimen, and glows a great green color with directed lighting.
